Real Madrid leaves no room for doubt.. and takes a big step towards the La Liga title
Real Madrid came very close to resolving the Spanish Football League title after beating its host Osasuna 3/1 today in the thirty-third stage of the competition.
David Alaba opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 12th minute, then Osasuna equalized with a goal by Ante Bodemir in the 14th minute, then Marco Asensio scored the second goal for Real in the 45th minute.
In the sixth minute of stoppage time for the match, Lucas Vazquez scored the third goal for Real Madrid.
Karim Benzema missed the opportunity to score for Real from two penalty kicks in the 52nd and 58th minutes, leaving the player's balance at 25 goals at the top of the list of top scorers in the Spanish League.
Real Madrid raised its score to 78 points in the lead, 17 points ahead of its closest rival, Atletico Madrid, who is in second place, which drew 0-0 at home with Granada today, while Osasuna's balance froze at 44 points in ninth place.
In another match, defending champion Atlético Madrid moved up to second place, despite its disappointing goalless draw against its relegation-threatened guest, Granada.
Atlético raised its score to 61 points, one point ahead of Barcelona, who has a postponed match and will visit Real Sociedad tomorrow, and Seville, who plays against Levante on the same day.
While Real Madrid, who will visit Osasuna later on, lead with 75 points and are on the verge of stripping their arch-rival of the title.
